    About Us

    We're Ofwat, the Water Services Regulation Authority – a non-ministerial government department responsible for regulating the water sector in England and Wales.

    As the economic regulator of water and wastewater companies in England and Wales, our role is to enable, incentivise and hold companies to account for providing the very best for customers, communities and the environment now and in the future. We also oversee the markets in the water sector to ensure they're working for customers.

    Why Join Ofwat?

    With us, your work matters, your voice is heard, and your impact is felt. Ours is a culture of trust, flexibility, autonomy, collaboration, and innovation. We all want positive change for water customers, the environment, and the future of water.

    But for us, change is more than what happens on the outside – we've always pushed boundaries internally, too. From becoming the first Civil Service organisation to achieve 'Smarter Working' status, to gaining our prestigious 'Smarter Working Maturity' award, we've consistently demonstrated our commitment to embracing innovative ways of working. Our people do their best work when given freedom over where, when, and how they work. Which is why we trust our teams to balance meaningful collaboration in the office with the flexibility of working from home.

    You will also benefit from:


    • Employer pension contributions of 28.97% (around £10,700 to £12,700 per annum for this role).


    • 27.5 days leave (25 days annual leave + 2.5 days privilege leave) increasing to max 32.5 days with each year of service), plus bank holidays

    • Up to 3 volunteering days per year.


    • Generous shared parental leave and pay.


    • Enhanced sick pay.


    • Regular development opportunities.


    • Health and wellbeing initiatives.


    • Season ticket loan for home-to-office travel.
